This past weekend, Rae and I attended two screenings at the annual Asian American Film Festival. On Saturday, we watched (along with Kai, Bryan, and Flora) 20, 30, 40, a film about three women in their — you guessed it — 20’s, 30’s, and 40’s and the hardships they face…

10 years ago, I was studying in France when a large-scale transportation strike fell over the country for several weeks. It appears that they’re at it again with another strike. In 1995, the métro, SCNF, and bus lines were all severely impacted, causing the entire city to take to cars,…

30 years old today. This age was not even remotely fathomable to me back in 1985 as I sat thinking about being 18 in front of my family’s Apple II computer. 8 years was long enough, but 20 years?!? Time to rewind the wayback machine to 10 years ago. Some…

The Wave Magazine has an article on that funky looking house along Highway 280 that I’ve always dubbed as the Tatooine house. Rae calls it the Yoda house, and Wave Magazine labels it as the Flintstones house. The article is a good read for anyone who’s ever passed by that…

I’ve been wondering lately what would it be like to own Canon’s entire lens collection for the EOS camera system? In any given photography situation, there’s at least one ideal lens for the job. Most photographers, however, don’t have Canon’s entire arsenal at their disposal — usually, they pull out…

New iPods were released today. The iPod mini lineup was updated with new colors, longer battery life, and 4/6GB storage capacity. The iPod photo lineup now consists of 30GB and 60GB models. Most notable is the optional $29 iPod photo Connector. Apparently, this will allow direct image transfer from a…

We had a small group at the Stanford Newton User Group meeting tonight, with only Flash, Peter, Dave, and myself in attendance. I demoed the impressive Einstein Newton Emulator on my G4 PowerBook. Paul has been doing some optimizations on the emulator and has it running a bit faster than…
